Smoking is a bad habit not only for your body but also for the health of your skin. Too much smoking makes it leathery, dry and rough. A smoker develops wrinkles way earlier than non-smokers. This is bad for people around too. They too can develop wrinkles faster than others. Shun smoking and start breathing exercises to make your skin look younger for long.

The most popular adult drink is the most harmful drink for the skin as it has the ability to dehydrate it immensely. The moisture-deficieny due to alcohol leads to wrinkle formation making you look older. Instead of adding alcohol to the body, think of anti aging juices. These keep your skin healthy and wrinkles at bay.

Not Exfoliating

One loses nearly a million of skin cells in a day with 30,000 to 40,000 falling off every hour and new cells being generated continuously. This is where your skin care should take off from.

Hot showers

Eating unhealthy food

Nothing kills your skin more than your love for fast food and and other not so healthy choices in food.

Not using sun protection in the right manner

Sun is the harshest external element of all that damages your skin. It is often seen that people use sun screen lotions or creams only once a day. This is absolutely wrong. One needs to re-apply it after every three to four hours. Also, not applying it on the cloudy days is lethal. Skin care is needed even when you see clouds in the sky. Sun's rays are still capable of reaching your skin and cause the damage.

Applying wrong products on your skin

Every person has a different skin type and so are its needs. Using wrong products can develop skin issues that were not there in the first place. One should buy skincare products as per his/her skin type.
